Ive been looking at an american tele on ebay. the seller says its not an american standard, but a previous model known as just an american telecaster.
Here's what he says:

It is a genuine American telecaster
(not a
standard, that name came in the autumn 2008 this is the one from
before)


I cant find such a model using google. can anyone advise if what this seller says is legit?

From 2000-2007 they were just called American Series. In 2008 Fender re-introduced the line as "American Standard" again (it had been called like this also from 1987 to early 2000). They are different guitars, though by not much. The current American Standards (2008-) are considered slighlty upgraded in comparison to the older "Americans". Get a serial number and check in the Support tab to know when they were made.
